Official Rupaul’s Drag Race S13 thread | Congrats to our winner!

[Phantomhive 2,030]

Satisfied with everything that's happened this season (except maybe for Denali's elimination but it is what it is)

So looking forward to next week's episode particularly because Valentina will be gracing our screens again with her divine presence

Do y'all love RuPauls Confessionals Race? Because I sure don't

This season is borderline unwatchable

I don't know how Utica won that lip sync... she's gotta go I am really tired of her. That said Tina's time was also up so as long as Utica's next I'm straight. 

I see some people using spoiler tags and some not, I guess I'll try and be good. 

But also why you in here if you didn't watch.

omg Valentina looked ****ing stunning with the dark hair. 

I LOVE Roast challenges, so I'm looking forward to this as well.

FINALLY Tina is gone. About time they brought up the fact that she's been doing the exact same thing all season. She deserved to leave based on everything, including the lipsync, because sure she danced her a$$ off but she forgot to lipsync in some parts lmao. 

Utica didn't even deserve to be in the bottom 2.... her ad wasn't the best but it was better than Olivia and Kandy. Even her look was great but ofc they had to pretend it's not while praising others who were wearing a children's birthday party furry costume.. 

The win should have gone to Rosé alone even though Symone was great too. Rosé runways however was amazing while Symone's was just not it.

And the Kandy favoritism at this point... I love how when someone does badly they trash them but when Kandy does badly and wears that on the runway they turn it into a fun segment full of laughter lol.

This season is utter **** I’m sorry. I try to be positive but it’s been so long and so unenjoyable. I’m rooting for no one (besides Symone but they’re literally saying explicitly that she’s the star of the season and her win is a 100000% given).

It’s up there with season 11. What a shame when the 3rd best season of the whole show ended airing this week lol

[alsemanche 93,814]

Also im really tired of this season at this point? It's like no matter what happens we always have the same critiques, same results, and same favored queens. I hadn't noticed how annoying it can get until DRUK was done cause s13 was kind of the afterthought for me. But now that DRUk ended and we only have s13 it's just becoming more annoying to watch??

- Symone gets explicitly praised (the “you’re a star” comment on episode ONE, the random ass Carson talking to Ross bit during filming where they praise her) like no one usually does. Obvious winner edit. She has the talent to do that on her own but for some ****ing reason they feel like they need to overproduce her as a winner.

- Gottmik gets the obvious “we want you in the finale but you’re not making it easy” edit where they will give her a win anytime she does relatively good and will keep her from the bottom at all costs knowing she wouldn’t survive a lip synch. She’s literally been so one note, underwhelming and boring. They’re grasping at straws to make her reach the finale spot they wanted for her.

- Rosé is fine but she’s nothing spectacular. She’s performing super well but just doesn’t have anything new to offer. Very Gigi Goode. That double win was bullshit, Symone destroyed the challenge and she wasn’t even close to her.

- Kandy was entertaining for a while, but she takes herself so seriously that it’s just grating. It’s the obvious Silky edit where they’ll cram her into the finale at all costs because they need her for ratings. 

That top 4 was obvious from day one (Rosé took a bit more time but now it’s clear) and I hate how much they’re forcing it down our throats.

This season has no stakes, no drama, no compelling queens. Denali and Tamisha were the best out of that crop. Symone is an obvious winner so there’s nothing to fear for her, you know she’s production darling. You know damn well Kandy will be saved no matter what too. Gottmik will never see the bottom.

It’s literally just watching these 4 reap all the wins while everyone else falls like flies until we reach the finale. Boring as ****.

This show needs a severe shake up but we’ve been complaining about these things for YEARS and they can’t do **** about it.

Thanks god for the international versions, they’re keeping this brand together

Someone please redo the segment of Phi Phi going off about Alyssa "its okay for her to wear trash on stage because she's Alyssa" with Kandys name

I don't get how the f was Kandy not in the bottom 2.... like her commercial was bad, her runway was atrocious.... but hey she is "funny" so let's keep her.... this is so stupid. Producers are ruining this season with favoritism 

Her commercial was funny

This season is bad and random. I'm sorry to say this because there are some queens who are really talented, but Ru and producers are ruining the season in MY opinion. 

The top 2 contenders were crystal clear since day 1 and they're doing everything to keep them high and make them likeable (it causing the opposite effect to me).

I don't wanna be one of those but yeah, I miss the old show where the rigga morris wasn't so on your face.

I agree, it's kinda obvious how they're eliminating some queens now for the sake of them being on a future All Stars season, though I'm not mad if we see them again on All Stars since I love them but it's obvious how they set some queens up to fail 

[weed 73,851]

I think the queens are amazing, it’s been a good season with what the queens have provided, but the production/storyline they create is so bad.

[Fantina 3,357]

I actually will get downvoted to hell for saying this but Tina was robbed. I laughed at her commercial more than Olivia's and Gottmik. She destroyed Utica in the lipsync too. They have been so messy with Tina's critiques the past couple of episodes, praising her for doing the bare minimum and scolding her for literally being the best in that Musical. 

And i am gonna get shady as hell but the category for the runway was beast and NO ONE gave me beast. The closest ones were Olivia and Symone. Rose although looked amazing was not giving beast. So the win should have went to just Symone.

I now understand why they save the fun and interesting runway categories for international seasons. The UK queens would have slayed this category.

Might have been a case of the Queens getting a different category title and production decide to call it beast last minute. To me it looked like they all had prepaired a cartoon inspired runway/ cartoon beast? 
 

the UK Queens did slay this category with the monster mashup
